Daily news roundups
Union sink in Columbus, USA to face Andre Blake and Jamaica in the Gold Cup final, and the rest of the day’s news.
USL Match report
Richmond Kickers ended Bethlehem Steel’s undefeated streak while stopping their own string without a win 3-2 at City Stadium in Virginia’s capital.
Union match reports
The Union’s shorthanded, sputtering offense failed to threaten Columbus Crew SC, who rode a lucky goal from Justin Meram to a 1-0 victory at MAPFRE Stadium.

The Gold Cup is the premier competition for CONCACAF supremacy. It does little to further the US Men’s National Team’s international agenda, however, and getting “results” in the competition have little impact results in subsequent World Cups.
Soccer on TV
This week, Footy never sleeps. The Union must win (twice), and USMNT must win. Also, a slew of Friendlies, Pre-Season “Cups,” UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women’s European Championship, Copa Sudamericana, NASL, NWSL, and South American League play (if you have the channels).
